Corfu in a nutshell

Corfu

One of the most beautiful Greek islands is the second-largest in the Ionian Sea and the seventh-largest in Greece.

It earned its nickname, the ‘Emerald Isle’, thanks to its lush green vegetation, which is not very common on other Greek islands and covers a large part of Corfu. In Greek, the island is called Kerkyra, and you will often find it referred to by this name in guidebooks.
